You forgot 2748 sig spot posts. :)

Good read! I thought it was funny.

So true, so true.

Well written, well done. You could also add in the 17 superior idiots who'd say that changing light bulbs is beneath them, that they hire flunkies to do that for them.

.. and the 247 teenage "webmasters" who would say their mom handle's all the light-bulb duties in their house (and basement)

And lastly, you forgot woj, who would post "50 light bulbs..." "100...." at the top of all 17 pages of such a thread.

:D

Darwin awards had a story submitted about light bulbs. Basically, a guy claims that if one puts a light bulb in their mouth, it is impossible to get it out again without smashing it. This sets off a chain of people trying it for themselves...
